My Department has been informed by the Transport Liaison Officer (TLO) for City of Limerick that the majority of children availing of school transport in the Limerick City catchment area travel on Bus Éireann schedule road passenger services. These services are a feature of the school transport scheme.

The TLO also informed my Department that the area referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, is well served by Bus Éireann scheduled services.

In that regard, the existing school transport arrangements to the school in question which includes both scheduled services and a dedicated school transport bus will be reviewed for the 2009/10 school year.
